  Surprising good!!! Had with a wonderful porterhouse steak and it paired extremely well. Plum coloring as it poured, a very slight garnet ting at the edge. Dark fruits still dominate with a medium to full mouthfeel and finish.

  Still drinking very well. Popped and poured. Dark fruit, hints of black cherry, slight spice. Solid structure, well made. Drinking window tops out at 2014, but could have a couple more years in it before things go south.

  PnP through Nuance Wine Finer. Same dark purple color. Still getting dark fruit on the nose, but less heat. Maybe some oak. On the palate, there's a little heat, some tannins and spice, all up front, with a nice fruit smooth finish on the back end. I'd describe it as a rustic start, with a smooth finish. Interesting wine. I think it's mellowed and balanced out a bit more, so I'll bump to 88pts. Aloha!
